Disclaimer & Terms of Use
Last updated: 3 July 2026 · PICKETTECH
The short version: PICKETTECH tools are free educational aids. They are provided as-is, without warranty. Always verify calculations independently before relying on them, and always use qualified professionals for electrical work. By using this site you accept these terms.
1. Educational Purpose
PICKETTECH (pickettech.com) provides free, browser-based tools and content for learning about electronics, engineering calculation, lean manufacturing, and AI productivity. Everything on this site is intended for educational and informational purposes only.
Our tools are learning aids and productivity helpers — they are not certified engineering software, professional consulting, or a substitute for qualified professional advice.
2. No Warranty
All tools, calculators, simulators, and content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. While we work hard to keep everything accurate and up to date, we make no guarantee that:
- Calculations, simulations, or educational content are error-free or complete
- The tools will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of defects
- Results are suitable for any particular purpose
3. Calculators & Simulators — Verify Independently
Tools such as PickettCalc, PickettScope, PickettLab, PickettPLC, the Takt Time Calculator, Cycle Time Analyser, and OEE Tracker produce results based on the values you enter and simplified educational models.
Do not rely on these results for real-world engineering, production, financial, or safety-critical decisions without independent verification by a qualified engineer or professional using certified methods and tools. You are solely responsible for how you use any output from this site.
4. Electrical Safety
Electronics content on this site — including circuit theory, soldering guidance, and PLC material — is for learning. Working with electricity can cause serious injury, death, or fire.
- Mains-voltage work must only be carried out by qualified, licensed electricians in accordance with local regulations
- Emergency stops and machine safety functions must be implemented in accordance with applicable safety standards — never through software logic alone
- Always follow manufacturer datasheets, local electrical codes, and workplace safety procedures over anything written here
PICKETTECH accepts no responsibility for injury, damage, or loss arising from practical work undertaken based on content from this site.
5. Manufacturing & Business Tools
Lean manufacturing tools (LeanFlow, 5S Audit, KaizenBoard, OEE Tracker, Takt Time, Cycle Time) support learning and day-to-day continuous improvement. Business and operational decisions made using these tools are entirely your own responsibility. Data entered into these tools is stored locally on your device — see our Privacy Policy — and we recommend keeping your own records of anything important.
6. AI Productivity Tools
Tools such as PickettPrompt and PickettWrite generate prompt text for use with third-party AI services (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude). We are not responsible for the output of any third-party AI service, and you are responsible for reviewing anything an AI produces before using it.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, PICKETTECH and its creator shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss or damage — including loss of profits, production, data, or business — arising from the use of, or inability to use, this site or its tools.
Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
8. External Links & Third-Party Services
This site may link to external websites and services. We are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. Our Chrome extensions are governed by this disclaimer and our Privacy Policy.
9. Changes to These Terms
We may update this page from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the current version. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
